Application lcd June 18, 1912. Serial No. 704,382.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that we, RUDOLPH SPERBERG and CHARLIE YUNGFER, citizens ofthe United States, residing at Galloway, in the county of Marathon andState of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements inIroning-Board Supports, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to ironing boards and supports therefor and hasfor an object to provide a board having relatively movable clampingportions and a support that is adapted to be extended against the sidemembers of a window frame or like structure and to receive therelatively adjustable clamping portions of the board and to assist insustaining the board in proper working position.

In the drawing forming a portion of this application, and in which likeletters of reference indicate similar parts in the several views: Figure1 is a perspective view of the board showing the support thereof in anadjusted position upon a window. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectionthrough the support.

The board 1 herein shown may be of any suitable well known configurationand secured thereto upon its underside is a cleat 2 through which boltsextend, the upper ends of the bolts being secured as at 4 to the table.v

IVe provide a support 19 forthe board 1 such as shown in F ig. 1 of thedrawing which is particularly intended to be used upon windows, doorframes, or like structures. This support includes adjustably connectedmembers 20 and 21 which are adapted to be extended into clampingengagement with the opposite side members of a door frame or windowcasing. The member 20 of the support is provided near one end with alongitudinally extending slot 22. The other member 21 is provided with abolt 23 whose head is disposed beneath the slot 22 and in slidingcontact with adjacent portions of the member 20. VThe bolt extendsthrough the slot and it is provided with a adjustment. The opposite endof the member 20 is provided with a. pivoted cam 25 having a lever 26thereon. The cam is so positioned beneath the member 20 that thel lever26 thereof can be actuated to cause the locking surface of the cam toprotrude from the end of the member 20 whereby it may find such purchaseagainst one of the side members of a door or window frame as will servesatisfactorily toward sustaining the support in the required position.The member 20of the support may be fitted between the extremities 12 ofthe braces 5 and the adjacent portion 13 of the board 1 being in lockingengagement therewith when theleg 14 of the board is adjusted to asupporting position.l

The board is extremely simple in construction and the companioncoperating parts thereof are so designed and associated relatively thatthey may be folded so that the board will assume a very compact packagewhen not in use.

We claim In a device of the kind described in combination a pair ofoverlapping bars, one of said bars being formed with an elongated slot,a-bolt passed through the opposite bar and through said slot, means forlocking said bolt in adjusted position, a pivot pinv mounted upon one ofsaid bars at the farther end with respect to said bolt, and a lock ingkclamp pivotally mounted upon said pivot pin and arranged to have itsperipheral part project in extension of one of said bars, and anintegral handle formed upon said clamp.

In testimony whereof we aiiix our signatures in presence of twowitnesses.
